Well done Funk on resisting. I still get the craves quite a lot but I get a big kick on beating them, a much bigger kick than I would get from a stinky old cancer stick. All I can say is bring it on you craves - you are de-feet-ed OK. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/6/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 7 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 92 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �17.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 33 [B]Seconds:[/B] 14

I loved this line : I am an ex-smoke.[i]Text[/i] Sounds kind of cool... You know, I keep seeing these people who have quit for 20 or 30 or 40 days post that they are having this terrible horrible day and want to kill everyone and also promise that they won't smoke. It makes me think that it may be somehow occurring in cycles. I wonder if anyone has studied the patterns of quitter. Patch / Cold Turkey / wellbutrin / etc. I haven't had any bad days so far and wonder why. I get a feeling like I would like to smoke a cigarette once in a while but, I just say nah.. like I do when I crave fast food or rich deserts. Glad you feel better.. :) Christine [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/1/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 12 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 322 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $42 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 8 [B]Mins:[/B] 43 [B]Seconds:[/B] 19

yesterday had to be the worst day of my life. From my violent mood swings, to delerium-induced laughter, it was a day nightmares are made of. i even told my wife I wanted a divorce (though that is not what I seek). Good thing I have a kick-ass wife, she rocks. I also got a pimple in my ear (if you never had one imagine searing pain going from your eardrum through your chin into your temple). I just kept saying I need to go to sleep and this madness will be over. When I went to sleep, my 1 and 1/2 year old son woke me, bless his little black heart. :) I just love him sooo much. When I finally made it to bed it was heavenly, until my wife rolled on my chest. Ohhh, wrong move, and I went off again (good thing she slept through it). The whole day my withdrawls were at an all-time high of around a 10-11 on the scale here. It was hell. My weak little mind kept telling my soul to just go smoke one, you desirve it. :mad: Sometimes I hate that thing. So I finally went to sleep, and when I woke up it was all gone. I was Funk again. I was this happy-go-lucky person. Yesterday was the worst day of my quit and I made it. I MADE IT! Hell yeah, that is what I am talking about. I am an ex-smoke. Never again will I smoke and I fully realize that now. Never again will one thing have such a hold on my life it will make me blind. Thank you all for what you do here, you people rock. Thanks for letting me vent: hopefull this will help someone. ~Funk [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/24/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 20 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 413 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $84 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 48 [B]Seconds:[/B] 53
